THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE THROUGH INSPECTION AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ROTORS HAD RUSTED. THE ROTORS WERE TURNED INSTEAD OF BEING REPLACED BY THE DEALER.

I OWN TWO 2002 GM PRODUCTS, A TAHOE AND A SILVERADO PICKUP. THE EMERGENCY BRAKES DO NOT WORK ON EITHER VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE BOTH TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR TO GET THEM TO PASS STATE INSPECTION. I HAVE CONTACTED FIVE OF MY FRIENDS THAT OWN 2002 GM PRODUCTS AND THREE OUT OF THE FIVE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THAT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS IN GREATER DETAIL.*AK

WE HAVE A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB TRUCK. THE TRACKS THAT THE FRONT SEATS SLIDE ON STICK OUT VERY FAR IN THE BACK. THEY ARE MADE OF METAL, AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY GUARDS ON THEM. MY FOUR YEAR OLD SON CLIMBED IN THE BACK SEAT AND HIT HIS KNEE ON THE METAL TRACK. IT CUT HIS KNEE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE EVEN CUT MY HAND ON THESE TRACKS WHEN I AM CLEANING OUT THE TRUCK. I HAVE A 2002 FORD EXPLORER, AND THE TRACKS HAVE PLASTIC COVERS OVER THEM. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO MAKE SOME PLASTIC COVERS TO PUT OVER THESE TRACKS. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. I AM PRINTING THIS COMPLAINT AND MAILING IT TO YOU, ALONG WITH PICTURES OF THE TRACKS. I WILL ALSO SUBMIT THIS OVER THE INTERNET. *TS *JB
